WOW!

T Sinderson - United States

I was so happy to find these in my size. Just got them today and wow, couldn't hardly take them off!! They are a little snug width wise, but felt better and better the longer I wore them. It is raining outside and we have a lot of mud, so I kept taking them off to go out and them putting them back on. Didn't want to get them muddy the first day!!! They feel like they were custom made for my long narrow feet, Thanks John I always wanted a classic riding boot. Now can change it up with the buckle bling harness strap. Love it!!! Them!!!! ]:o)

Must have the red

GerriHHU6TG - gerri.bagshaw@gmail.com

Ok soooo love my size 8 riding boot. I probably spent an hour on deciding between the red or black. Keeping it conservative I chose the black. Love them!!! Now I feel I have made a horrible mistake. I should have bought both. Please please find me a size 8 in red. Went to buy the red boots on line after leaving Calgary. And my size was gone. (:`(
Love my Fluevogs. ,-)

Size of these boots

Cheryl Barclay - Calgary

I had phoned the Calgary store to check to make sure that had these boots in my size and was so excited to find out that they did. I was looking for a 7 1/2 in black. So I raced down to the store to try the boots on. My foot slipped into them with such ease and with great anticipation I started to zip them up when low and behold I could get the zipper up any higher because my calf was to big. John, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make boots for people with a bigger leg(actually I think a normal size). I would so love to have a pair of these boots and was heartbroken that they did not fit. (:`(

Sturdy, slim, sexy curves

Soledad Song - San Francisco, CA

For the reviewer who questioned the "quality" of these boots, because she claimed the harness dragging on the ground, her stepping on the harness, or being in the way of the zipper are "design flaws": You're doing it wrong.
:-}
Properly adjusted there's no way you could step on the harness or drag it on the ground. I ride bicycles and motorcycles in these boots and have no problems with this either on the ground or on any of my pedals. The chain portion sit tucked tightly against the heel and sole for me on the middle buckle hole. If yours are still too loose on the smallest hole, there's not really room on the strap to punch a tighter one, but any good cobbler or leather tailor/seamstress can shorten the buckle straps for you as they're sewn, not riveted. With a leather needle and strong sewing machine, you could even make this adjustment yourself.
B-)
As for the harness being an impediment to the zipper: It's only one buckle. Just unbuckle it.
P-)
At least these have a full-length zipper, instead of just a partial ankle-zipper, like the Heidis. I would recommend these before the Adrians Heidi unless you _really_ have to have those wide flaps and big buckles. This is pretty much the same shape as the Heidi (and more versatile, because you can remove the harness "bling" accessory and have a very sleek looking dressy-equestrian boot instead of a punk-biker engineer boot), but a lot of people have trouble getting in and out of the Heidi, because it only has a partial ankle-zipper. Agnes zips all the way up, which also makes tucking pants and pulling up socks so much easier.

Saw these on sale on the website and called ahead to see if the Upper Haight, San Francisco store had them in stock. Ever-fabulous service from Denny and Monikaa there. I bike a lot and Monikaa talked sense into me about how a tunite (hardened Portuguese rubber blend) sole and Bottero leathers would be better for biking than the leather-soled, softer shoe I was also considering. Ooh, yes. Please do convince me that the sexier choice is also more practical! She was right. :-D

I have very thin ankles and have trouble finding shoes that aren't baggy around the ankles. These are perfectly form-fitting on my legs while still allowing kneehigh boot socks and tucked-in jeans. They have a sexy heel scoop that balances the swoop of the swing toe and the adjustable calf-opening finishes off a very sinuous line. I'm also very averse to elastic gussets (they look tacky, cheap, and stretch out. I wouldn't wear Vogs if I wasn't a shoe/boot fetishist and design snob), so I was happy these have a leather gusset in the calf-adjustment gap. They initially felt long and tight around the toe box, but Monikaa explained that the pointy-ish toe would feel long and that she owns four pairs in this family and knows that they take a little bit to soften (compared to a thin/soft-leather shoe) but once they do break in they are soooooo comfy and totally worth the extra sturdiness.
<-)
My only dilemma was wanting the toe box/vamp area stretched, but the store was closing in a hour and I didn't want to take them off. She spritzed them with water and told me to try them that way for a few hours/couple wears. If they were still too stiff, to bring them back and they'd be happy to stretch any problem areas. I wore them out of the store and 10 hours later they were warmed up and starting to get beautifully creased and buttery.
]:o)
I had to do a happy dance of shoe glee before I left the shop. Shoe heaven! :-{

Fabulous Boots and Half Price

Wendy - Vancouver

And talk about fantastic customer service. I ordered these boots on line and 5 minutes after I placed my order, Thomas from the Vancouver Gastown Store phoned me to tell me they had the boots there and would I like to come down, try them on and save shipping and handling. The store is 4 blocks from my home, so I went in the next day and bought Red Agnes. I wore them to work the next day and took a pair of shoes with me to change into just in case I got sore, but no problem. I wore them all day. Two compliments on the bus on the way. These are my 3rd pair of Fluevogs and I love them all.

PERFECTION!

Imelda - Newport Beach

I absolutely love these boots, I have lots of boots, but only one other pair that is red and they are very difficult to find boots in this happy color. Unless they are very high heels or the wrong red. This is a very happy, vibrant red which goes with everything! I am usually a size 8 1/2 or 9 and I ordered 9 1/2 and they are perfect. I have very skinny legs, so the top adjustment is perfect.

Gorgeous!

Lori CG

Got these today from the new store in Calgary....a beautiful shop, by the way! I called ahead and asked for a size 9 to be held for me..no prob. I take a 9 in all shoes including Fluevogs, but not this boot. Had to jump up to a 10! The red is killer...a real stand-out. If you're ordering online, I definitely recommend jumping up at least a half size...they're narrow and have a fairly slender calf.

So many complements!

CleverGirl

I got these boots in red on the first day of the sale & I see they've been marked down some more for the final weekend. Just wanted to say how much I love them. I'm currently living in Middle East where leggings and tall boots are the winter fashion staple for women &, I must say, women keep looking at them with admiring looks! The little bling straps are awesome because you can make the boots look totally different by wearing them as in the photo, or reversing them so the studs are at the back or leave them off (or just wear one!). I have very narrow feet, but had to buy half a size up to get the right fit (and wear a thick sock). So far, totally comfortable & no rubbing etc. Also, the perfect fire engine red! (Please make more fire engine red shoes!!!) These are fast becoming my favourite 'vogs!

These boots are both beautiful and amazing! I wore them out of the store and walked all around Vancouver for three days! No sore feet, no blisters! As these are around my 10th pair of Fluevogs, I did not hesitate as I know the quality.
I do have a couple of concerns.....the removable bling makes it very difficult to do the boot up as the zipper runs down below the bling, and you need it all the way down to slide your foot in. Secondly, with the bling done up, it makes it too tight to slide my foot in even when the zipper is all the way down; third, the chain drags on the ground and I have stepped on it a couple of times!
To sum up, these boots are now my go-to's, oh so great so wear with anything, super comfy, faves. I just hope the quality is there as these slight design flaws are not typical!

shoegal - Chicago

I LOVE these boots. They fit great, run true to size,are the perfect height for me (5'2" and hit me just below the knee) and look awesome.

You can wear them with or without the hardware-they look completely different without it- so it's like buying 2 pairs of shoes for the price of 1.
The shaft is a little narrow so if you have larger calves they may be tight, but you can always have them stretched a bit at a local JF store or by a shoe repair shop.

I can't tell you how happy I am to have purchased these.. I get at least 2 compliments every time I wear them!
